To know the Maldives is to fall in love with the Maldives. The reality exceeds the expectations of searches and catalogs.
Can you imagine being in the Indian Ocean surrounded by 1200 islands? These, in an attempt to organize between tides, have their capital in Male.
Only 200 of the 1,200 islands are inhabited. And this means one thing: space, nature, disconnection. You can enjoy the luxury destinations in Maldives in your dream resorts with villas held over the water, where you can be completely alone, wake up with the warmth of the sun, and see impressive sunsets.
The beaches, its most precious asset
The beaches are a separate spectacle that you can already deduce from the oval window of your plane: in the distance, you will see the curious “taxi rank”, small boats that will take you to your dream destination, floating in blue water that looks more like a hallucination caused by jet lag.
There, at that moment, you will realize that the best is actually yet to come. You will discover paradisiacal beaches with crystal clear waters with a coral bottom and white sand, so white that it even dazzles, at 26 degrees Celsius temperature and brimming with marine life.
Dive among corals and whale sharks
One of the most incredible experiences of your life, you can live at the Maldives holiday destinations: how about swimming with whale sharks? Here you can find them at any time of the year. The best area for its sighting is the South Ari Atoll.
Surfing perfect waves
Surf lover? Here an endless series of perfect and prolonged waves awaits you, extended along hundreds of kilometers of coral reefs, perfect for riding.
If you are looking for the perfect wave, go to Honky’s, a very long left wave; Sultans, one of the most consistent waves, noble right that opens very gently towards the bay to the coral reef; or Coke’s, possibly the most technical and powerful wave in the area.
Waves among dolphins
Luxury, here, also comes to surfing: there are two perfect places to surf that you can only access if you stay at their resorts. First stop: Pasta Point,second stop: Lohis, a long, perfect wave for all levels that can only be enjoyed by 45 surfers staying at the Hudhuranfushi Resort.
But in none of honeymoon destinations in Maldives will you be alone: you will be lucky enough to be able to spot and surf accompanied by herds of wild dolphins a few meters away.
Fly over paradise
Do you want to see the 1200 islands from the sky? Another activity that is very worthwhile is to fly over them from island to island with a seaplane, offering one of the most magical moments of the trip.
More than luxury
In the Maldives you have to leave the resort and stroll through the inhabited islands of Thulusdhoo, Hulhumale, Maafushi or Rasdhoo, discovering a new culture on each speck of land.
Keep walking: Island Hopping in Maldives
Visit its small towns with streets of white sand, where you do not need to wear shoes. Its markets full of fresh and salted fish, its coconut and papaya juices or its shops with artisan products are worth visiting.
